After the duel the student council came to check, Valefor was stunned to speak because all the members on the student council members were female and the student council president was....
"I am Seraphina Vandermeer, the student council president" she was among the top 5 rankers in the academy and she ranked 4th
"So Arthur, that weakling did this?" She asked the audience
after the other students explained the situation she went to valefor "interesting on the first day in academy and you defeated the strongest 2nd year? well doesnt matter much because 2nd years are mostly weaklings. But still, to think that a 1st year would do this much destruction, quite impressive. By the time you reach 4th year, you might become one of the top 5 members"
"Hmm, lets see" Valefor replied
after that he went to back to his class, other people were distant from him because they saw him as someone too powerful and the seniors took him as a threat because everyone wants to be a top ranker because it gives status and power. by a coincidence among the top 5 rankers 3 are dumans. One day while valefor was roaming around Zetor alarmed him by saying " hoho looks like another fight is about to break out"
Aethan oakaven challenged valefor for a duel as he was the most egoistic ranker among the other rankers, so he wanted to silence a fresher by giving defeating him.
Valefor accepted, Aethan was also a duman with darkness and cryo. The moment the duel started valefor started throwing lightening punches at him "FLASH FISTS"
"WHAT TYPE OF MAGE THROWS PUNCHES" Aethan was shocked, unlike other mages valefor throws punches. Aethan tried to freeze him but he was too fast "IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT, ABYSS ICE" he used mana fusion a technique which a Duman can create with his mana. The ice range and the power increased and it became hard for valefor to break through the ice but still this was the worst mana fusion any duman could create as all it did was increase range and power of his ice powers. "hey kid why dont you use mana fusion too, just imagine the technique you want to create" zetor whispered to him
"hmm alright, (my vision shall be every where i shall be your judge my gaze shall pierce through your body) THE STIGMATA OF XYLOS" soon everyone who was in the arena saw that it was now covered in a domain, Valefor's right eye turned completely black and there was a huge crimson eye in the sky glaring and then suddenly eye started appearing on Aethan "flash spear" valefor made a spear completely made of lightening and then " rift open" he struck him with multiple hits with the spear faster than the speed of light. Once again Valefor left fear in the audience, a brutal defeat of another challenger.
Seraphina was shocked to hear that valefor used mana fusion because it takes at least 2 years to master but he did it mid-fight just by watching unlike other dumans who have to be taught by teachers. She started to get interested in him, how an unknown noble whom no one has ever heard about is so powerful.
valefor decided to skip classes tomorrow because people are unnecessarily asking him for a duel, and he knows unless its the top 4 rankers no one can give him a good fight. And ya he became the 5th ranker, but will reviving his family name be this easy as getting the ranker position in the most prestigious magic academy that is not owned by any empire?
